It wasn’t just people melting like delicate English roses. Roads are melting, rail lines are buckling, and the air became polluted.

But in perhaps the greatest indicator that all hell has broken loose in the deadly, temperatures-as-high-as-93F heatwave, the organizers of Royal Ascot — England’s answer to the Kentucky Derby — are even considering relaxing the famously formal race meeting’s dress code.

Has the world gone topsy-turvy?

Apparently even the notorious English stiff upper lip cannot be maintained when drenched in beads of sweat.

As reported on Monday, temperatures continue to climb above 85F in London and England’s southern regions, with little to no respite from the “killer heatwave” (their words).

But in a country built on almost year round gloomy weather, the infrastructure is suffering nearly as much as the residents.

The Telegraph reports that in Cambridgeshire, home to the famously elite Cambridge University, motorists have complained that their tires have ripped tarmac from roads as the surface area reaches an almost unheard of 104F.

The council has been forced to deploy glitters, specialist vehicles that sprinkle gritty substances such as sand on the road, in a bid to curb the problem.

It comes after many regional rail services were slashed, as the country endured its longest stretch of hot June days in more than two decades.

Trains have been forced to cut traveling speeds, amid fears rail lines could buckle in the heat.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has also issued an air pollution alert for the city, The Guardian reports, with southerly winds expected to blow toxic air across England and Wales on Wednesday.

London temperatures are forecast to reach the almost unheard of June high of 93F on Wednesday, following a string of days over 85F that has seen weather records across the nation’s south tumble.

Even parts of Scotland were forecast to reach into the mid 70F range.

The national health authority, Public Health England, has issued a level three health alert, one tier below the level four national emergency, as they prepare for heat-related deaths.

Thousands of people have been flocking to Brighton and Bournemouth beaches in England’s south, and a teenager and woman have drowned in separate incidents while swimming this week.

At the annual Trooping the Color ceremony to celebrate the Queen’s birthday on Saturday, six guards in full uniform, including bearskin, were hospitalized after fainting during the ceremony when temperatures hit 77F.

Now, the organizers of Royal Ascot are considering relaxing the event’s dress code for its second day on Wednesday, according to The Guardian, with temperatures forecast to reach 94F.

The famously stodgy Royal Ascot relaxed its dress code because of the heat wave.
